R, twitteR package: How can I get the twitter statuses from a specific time of the year? -


i quite new r , twitter package. student, i'm trying twitter statuses of around 30 specific people during month of october (2013, 2012, 2011). have succeeded 1 of them code

test.x<- usertimeline("x", n=3200, maxid=twitter-id-of-the-last-tweet-of-the-month, sinceid=twitter-id-of-the-first-tweet-of-the-month, includerts=false, retryonratelimit=1500) y <- do.call("rbind", lapply(test.x, as.data.frame)) write.table(y,file="nameoct13.csv",sep=",",row.names=t)

but going take quite long time, as:

  1. i have manually scroll down timeline id of first , last tweets of month.
  2. i have 3 times each person
  3. i have re-do operation 30 people.

can simplification of of these tasks ?

as i'm typing these lines, reckon simpler way first tweet of user until last tweet of october 2013, but:

  1. there going maximum of tweets reached (isn't it?).
  2. this still leaves (well, me, in case) problem of scrolling timelines quite long time... of users have around 10k tweets...

thank community great help. v.a.

unfortunately, can't twitter:: you'd do. twitter:: accesses twitter api returns tweets more recent few weeks old. there's no way historical tweets using twitter:: because twitter doesn't allow it.

you might have better luck scraping rvest.
